Question Posted Tuesday September 13 2005, 12:45 am
I have so many things going wrong with myself. But I am not sure if I am sick or not. There are so many explanations out there for everything that I don't know anymore. Here are a few things.
1. I cut, usually about 2 times a month.
2. I wash my hands and clean obsessivly until the tension goes away that I feel beforehand, and if I don't do this then something bad will happen.
3. I pull out the ends of my hair on urge.
4. I feel tension and stress about everything.
5. I have hallucinations throughout the day. I see presence that I know isn't there and I think my mind plays so many tricks on me.
6. I have suicidal thoughts.
7. My mood can change from anything. It cam change if someone makes me mad, or I think about the past, or it can vary from a position I am in like the way I am sitting or standing or talking can put me in weird moods.
8. I am so tired all the time and get depressed easy.
9. I think someone is out to kill me all the time.
10. I am very withdrawl and find it hard to express myself.
11. I have a hard time dealing with getting close to people and intamicy.
12. I have alot of fears of being rejected and feel like I am a failure all the time. That Im not important.
13. I have lost alot of weight over the past year due to lack of eating.(eating issues)
14. I find myself crying for no reason sometimes.
15. I suffer from sleep paralysis and have obessions with evil things.
16. I am never happy during the day or during summer. I think I might have seasonal depression in this area.
See, so many things are wrong? I am so confused and I can't think straight. I want help so bad, or some advice on what's going on.

You are definately not alone in this. My mother has it. A lot of people have it. You seem to have an exptreme version of it. I think it is imperative that you seek out a mental health perfessional right away. Please go to your family and let them know what is going on. If they are not available please talk it over with a good friend you can trust. That rejection thing is a hard one. I'll bet you reject others before they reject you. The good news is you are aware. A lot of people who have this disorder totally deny it and you can't help someone if they deny there is anything wrong. You are a lot stronger and aware than you are giving yourself credit. I think you should be proud of yourself. Start researching on the web and learn more about this disorder. They have support groups that are geard for you. Good luck and let me know how you are doing.
